What was your favorite 2000's Disney Channel show/movie?
Let me know in the comments 😃

[@AdventureswithAriel]

I truly believe that this was Disney Channel's golden age! What was your favorite 2000's show? Comment down below 😃

[@ritchienavarro2920]

Lizzie mcguire

[@vodaz9109]

Even Stevens

[@robbiefarabee6954]

My favorite show that I enjoyed watching on Disney channel back in the 2000's was House of Mouse. I also agree with you. The 2000's was truly their golden age. Even though I barely watched their sitcoms I have watched plenty of their animated shows like House of Mouse, Lilo and Stitch the series, American dragon Jake long and the proud family for example. By the late 2000's the only show I saw that I enjoyed the most on the Disney channel was Phineas and Ferb. Once the 2010's came along they seemed to focus more on live action sitcoms instead of animated shows after Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls came to an end.

[@Dominickudo]

To me 00’s stop being good after Hannah Montana, High school musical and wizards of Waverly place showed up and I stopped watching but before that it was really really good.

[@n4ruto1k4]

90s were def the best right up to about 2002 then they went the popstar direction and lost all the good toons and re-runs of the golden toons.

[@KalaInTheKingdom]

This was probably the best era of the Disney channel

[@AdventureswithAriel]

Agreed!! I refer to the 2000's as Disney Channel's golden age 😃

[@ritchienavarro2920]

Yes

[@robbiefarabee6954]

I agree. Disney channel during that decade has been part of my childhood.

[@crunchy1547]

Early 2010s was really good too imo.

[@ilovelegos2000]

[@nickelodeonfan9820]

The 2000s was the best era for Disney channel their was that’s so raven , even Stevens , wizards of Wevarly place , Lizzie McQuire, Hannah Montana , American dragon Jake long , phinese and ferb , the suite life of Zack and Cody , the suite life on deck , Kim possible , life with Derrick , Phil of the future , even Stevens , LILO and stitch the series and Dave the barbarian

[@eleishatamiyaj.8470]

I was born in 1995 so Disney and Nickelodeon in the 2000's were my entire childhood! The memories...

[@cradica]

Born in 2003 so I can partly relate

[@phillinsogood]

Mee too 95 and growing up in the 00’s was amazing. Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Pixar’s Peak, Toys, Games the 00’s was amazing

[@cradica]

@phillinsogood I also remember watching a few 00's Pixar movies. Well, "Up" was the only one I saw in theaters because I am a 00's kid

[@phillinsogood]

@@cradica you were born at a good time still. Times have changed so much

[@cradica]

@phillinsogood I remember someone saying that I am JUST a 2010s kid, but I don't know. I'd still say I'm a bit of both. I remember someone summed it up as '94-'95=early 2000s kids '97-98=mid 2000s kids '00-03=late 2000s kids

[@MichellaneousMe]

I couldn’t get enough of that’s so raven and Kim possible. TSR producers did their homework when it comes to preteen/teenage life, problems, and morals. I felt connected with the characters. Raven wasn’t perfect she sometimes was the cause of fights. I felt like KP was an amazing animation and the bad guys weren’t 1dimensional.

[@mFabulous14]

That’s so Raven and The Cheetah Girls shaped me into the person I am today

[@BilalTQ990]

I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views. Super well researched, and super relatable for a 2000s teenager like me- great job!

[@sophiajohnson5340]

Cory in the House is the best spin-off in Anime history.

[@Jack-xw7og]

[@cradica]

I knew someone would say that

[@Quartzer.]

I just thought since 90's nostalgia is big right now I feel 00's nostalgia will follow suit in 2020's what if Disney revived Vault Disney but made it for Late 90's-mid 00's shows like Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, and Kim Possible. Of course it would still be aired at night I'd say 8 or 9pm- 3 or 4am (Adult Swim and Nick@Nite start at 8 and would be more adult than the new Vault Disney.) Edit: I'm gonna try and make a lineup though it isn't perfect (I decided to disclude Phineas and Ferb because I'm pretty sure it still gets reruns on Disney XD ) If there's anything I should have added or discluded let me know as I'm not a Disney Channel expert. 90's:Animated:Gargoyles,Timon and Pumbaa, 101 Dalmations. Live Action:I'm gonna work on this later. 00's:Animated:The Proud Family, Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch, American Dragon, Dave The Barbarian. Live Action: Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, Suite Life, Even Stevens, Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite Life on Deck. Edit 2:I'm back and I decided why not I'm bored and I have nothing better to do so I'll do a schedule a few things I was in a hotel a few months ago and Disney XD was still rerunning Phineas and Ferb so that will still be discluded again also for the 90s live action shows I'll do Jett Jackson and So Weird (again Im not a Disney Channel expert so.) Also I decided to disclude Suite Life On Deck as we already have Suite Life so. This thing will run from 9pm-6am and here's my schedule (also I'll be a little realistic which is why the more popular shows air first) 9pm:Lizzie McGuire 9:30pm The Proud Family 10pm Thats So Raven 10:30pm Suite Life 11pm Kim Possible 11:30pm Hannah Montana 12am Wizards 12:30am American Dragon 1am Even Stevens 1:30am Lilo and Stitch 2am Gargoyles 2:30am Timon and Puumba 3am Dave The Barbarian 3:30am Jett Jackson 4am So Weird 4:30am Thats So Raven 5am Lizzie McGuire 5:30am 101 Dalmations Hope you enjoyed (I'm not great at making schedules so)

[@80sman78]

to me anything pre 1997 belongs in the vault anything between 1983 till early 2000's maybe. we consider disney channel is almost 38 years old now

[@subwaysurfer5378]

For me Kim possible was the first show of disney's golden age

[@bMt5553]

Yes. I could not agree more with this.

[@roralize1358]

I was more of a 2000s kid than a 2000s teenager. Having been born in 2002, I have vivid memories dating back as far as 2006, with them becoming more clear around 2007-08. As such, I grew up with late 2000s Disney and reruns of the early 2000s shows and movies. Truly an amazing era of Disney.

[@cradica]

I am around the same age (born in 2003) but I never got into Disney until way later, like 2011) I did see phineas and ferb sometime when toon disney was still a thing though

[@Pmccaff2009]

This was hands down the best era Disney ever had, it had the DC Games in Summer 2006 and for a couple years after that - such an event, they brought all the shows together all the time in that era and it was amazing. Plus all the music too, who could forget Radio Disney as well?!

[@bMt5553]

Radio Disney was the best back in the 2000s, and I cannot, and will not be told otherwise.

[@tadrian786]

Why did this make me so emotional. I miss being a kid so much

[@ethancohen12]

This was the best of Disney, 100%. I remember watching all the current programs after school all the way to the more early 2000’s ones, eventually watching those late 90’s Disney original movies and animated series. There’s nothing else like it!

[@TeachingTinyDisciples]

Lizzie McGuire was my JAM! I still love Hilary Duff! haha Best era ever! And it makes sense because I was a tween in the early 2000's. High School Musical & Hannah Montana were also awesome, even though I was probably "too old" to be watching them lol And I am a huge Jonas Brothers fan, so you know I was watching Camp Rock & Jonas 😂 Another wonderful vid!

[@AdventureswithAriel]

Same!! It was a great time to be a tween 😎 Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens were probably my favorites. And I watched A LOT of High School Musical and Hannah Montana so no judgement here 😄

[@patax144]

this must be such a happy year for you the Jonas Brothers are back and Lizzie Mcguire will be back too

[@cradica]

Lizoe was way before my time but I do remember reruns of it and I love it

[@jadendawes]

Kim Possible was my favorite Disney Channel Show and what I think is one of Disney Channels successful shows. I mean it even got a 2019 reboot so I think that shows it. Also do you think that Disney Channel shows and movies should be represented in Walt Disney World as a ride,show or restaurant

[@AdventureswithAriel]

I loved Kim Possible! It was definitely their most successful animated show. I thought the two animated movies were great but have yet to see the live action reboot. And I’ve never thought about using Disney Channel for an attraction but I love the idea 😃 It would have to be based off one of their more successful franchises (like Kim Possible). I also like the idea of a show celebrating Disney Channel through the years!!

[@christiandacanay3086]

@@AdventureswithAriel ironically they did had a Disney Channel presence at EPCOT that still is present today. Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb and the 2017 Ducktales series has a scavenger hunt-like activity you can do throughout EPCOT World Showcase where you must follow the clues to complete the activity.

[@ThisSingleMom]

I remember all of that. This must of taken you a lot of time and research to put together. Nice work!

[@AdventureswithAriel]

Thank you for watching!! It was a lot of work, but I had so much fun putting this together 😃

[@Quartzer.]

Isnt this the most beloved era of the channel

[@Pmccaff2009]

Yep

[@lalaland2107]

"we thought Hilary and Raven were big, we ain't see nothing yet!" THIS RIGHT HERE!! This is why I will always hail the former two as Queens cuz they were there first even though Miley was waaayyy bigger

[@crunchy1547]

Disney is an evil corporation, it’s a shame that they own/created so much of what I grew up on.

[@christiandacanay3086]

Save for Hilary and Christy- they both dodged that wild bullet. Hilary had a few controversies but failed to even leave a scratch on her good girl image all the way to her return on TV with Younger. Christy Carlson Romano on the other hand only had a few works after Kim Possible and retired from acting and moved outside of California and has her own KZbin channel talking about her experiences as a teen star.

i was born in 1998 but i cant believe i missed out on all this. when i was a child i didnt watch jack shit on disney channel in the 2000s. a few reasons are, i was too young and too hyperactive to even notice or understand, i was too addicted to drake and josh, spongebob, and icarly. so it wasnt till around 2012-2013 when i finally found out who Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus were but by then i was too late. i completly missed out on everything those 3 did when were younger and i still havent watched any of theyre shows. i cant yet cuz im still a cheap bastard who still cant afford disneypluss yet. 😭 god if only i was born in the early 90s instead!

Ribbon era (2007-2010) was alright but as the era but they started airing less animation and the quality of the live action shows slowly started decreasing.

[@lalaland2107]

We lost the channel cuz my mom couldn't pay for the cable package anymore, but I really wanted to continue. I have to say, though, it was pretty shit because of the Life with Derek marathons, Shaun the Sheep shorts, Miniscule shorts, the fact that most of their shows had ended, lack of showing varied DCOMs and the scheduling was just bad overall in 2007... They didn't push the cartoons that were airing enough so it always felt like they weren't popular so I wouldn't talk about them at school(The Emperor's New School and The Replacements). Idk man even CN and Nick were getting kinda bad in the late 2000s, I liked some stuff from that time, but still. Hell, even the kids' commercials weren't as good.
